Every effort possible is being inad'e the authorities to supply tempor- help to harvest the present crops. Demands for farm hands of the type that existed ten years ago in plenty "kre being constantly made by farmers. It must be remembered, however, that this type of help does not exist, and applications of the kind are useless. Besides the usual local help, the State has sent into the field over a jthoussand boys above 16 years of age, have been given some prior 'iaraining at State College, and they doing most excellent work. However, with 219,000 farms in the state, 'these boys- cannot possibly supply fthe demand.

Business men's asso- ciatiims and Chambers of Commerce I'have come to the front remarkably and in an organized way are on to the farms of their com' munity, for one, two or three days and professional men who 'can be spared. This type of help has 'i additional valu in that it it handy, can be called upon when the urgency is greatest, and is no ex pense to the fanner the -remainder of time. Independent units of girls A' trained to some extent in farm work been jiut out and are their worth. One large farmer re ported to me lately that al wed at fjrst six women from on (of these camps, and afterwards th became so great that his al fllbtment was only two. It is eviden from this that in-the coming year th use of women on the farm will be materially enlarged, and that they will jhe one of the greatest factors in farm Among all these interests, the one 'hich is the most reliable and regu- lar will be the help from the cities and towns in each community, and I 'hope that the farmers will feel free -to call upon the Manager of thd County Farm Labor Bureau and Secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce to supply them the help which they will certainly need during the present harvest.

This is only asking a special favor. The crops are not being harvested alone for the farmer. The unhar- "vested crops are national assets and it is the concern of everyone to see that they are preserved to the greatest advantage. eroplanes and dirigibles. The mosquito fleets of three nations luzzed about, destroyers converted 'achts, submarines and small craft if all sorts.

No one had a kind word say for the dirigibles, although the part they have played and are playing protecting the incoming American iosts is an important one. Within the week one of the French lirigibles flying with an escort of American hydro-aeroplanes dropped a )omb on a German submarine. The 'eat was nothing unusual. During 1917 French dirigibles had nearly i score of encounters with.enemy sub On six occasions the submarine: discovered the dirigibles in time ti escape, but on the other occasion; the launching of bombs on the sub marines -took place under circum stances leaving little doubt as to thei fate. On two Occasions the submarine employed their guns aganst th dirigibles but their experience was disastrous, tho dirigibles virtually blowing them out of the water with a shower of heavy bombs and depth charges.

General Crowder's "work or fight" order, and its possible effect on the national game next year also i to be considered.

The new plan would mean that for the one year at least there would be no longer an American and a National League. The two leagues would protfably bo combined and rearranged as follows: Senators, Athletics, Phillies, Dodgers, Yankees, Giants, Braves and Rod Sox in the Eastern League while tho Browns, Cardinals, White 'Sox, Cubs, Tigers Indians, Red and Pirates would comprise the Wcstdrn League. ycarl before he 8 lammed out his 100th four-baser.

He was with the Red Sox, White Sox and Senators in 1908 and 1909, and then he spent three years with the Minneapolis Millers before booking up with the Phillies. For six years in succession, from 1912 to 1917 he hammered out more than ten homers per season, his greatest one-season record coming in 1915, when he put the old apple over the fence twenty-four times.

Magnates argue that neither of the leagues would be top- heavy and that as much interest would be aroused as under the present system. It is planned to keep the two leagues intact and as soon as conditions are again normal restore thei old playing schedule.

JUly cow cdntHtftltfed $100,000,000 of her product to the exports of tho United States in the last year, nearly all in the form of condensed milk used by tho Expeditionary Force in France. A complication made by tho National City Bank shows that the quantity of condensed milk exported in the year ended Juno 80, will proxiate 000,000 pounds, compared with 200jOOO pounds for the corresponding period of 1917.

These shipments are valued at $70,000,000, which sum was brought up to tho century mark by 6xpbrtatioh9 of butter and cheese, according to the National City Bank's figures. In the year ended June 30, 1917, tho American cow contributed $50,000,000 of the nation's exports and ceeding year $26,000,000.

But the ol" boy is still earning his cakes on big time and still slamming the ball oufc of bounds. In a game against the Cardinals at Philadelphia, June 14, Cravath hit a home run Jin the tenth inning and won the battle for the Phillies, 2 to 1.

That homer was No. 100 on Cravath's long list of circuit swats. It was the home run hit that gave Cravath a record which will probably not equalled in many-years to come, for the dope book shows us that Hans Wagner kept swinging at the offer- ngs 'Of the pitchers for twenty-odd of the dirigibles, for the latter can spot them at great depths and have an annoying habit of hovering for hours over the spot where the submarines are resting on the bottom in supposed security. -the U-boat arises its end comes quickly. submarine's only protection is to submerge to a great depth and then to make off at slow speed.

The dirigibles are not so fleet as the hydro-aeroplanes, but then neither are their convoys. The slow-steaming merchant vessels plod patiently along under the dirigibles, which lead unerringly through mine fields and instantly signal the presence of submarines or the launching of torpedoes, signaling in such a manner that the merchant ships can out- manoeuvre the torpedo. Marine dirigibles as a defensive arm of the French navy did not exist at the outbreak of war, although $6,000,000 had been for their construction. In January, 1916, the French navy began using its dirigibles at first in the North Sea, and the English Channel, and in July, in the Mediterranean. During 1917 and the first five months of 1918 both the number of dirigibles and their personnel were tremendously increased.

They over-cat or over-drink and force on the stomach a lot of extra work. But they never think that the stomach necd extra help to do extra work. If these people would take Mi-o-na tablets with or after meals it would be a great help to the stomach in its strain of overwork. Mi-o-na tablets help your tired- out stomach to do its work and banishes thc cause.
